Cobault was founded by the current Chairman, Carson Bradbury as an independent software producer focusing on disrupting the Sales Force Automation (SFA) software market.

After engaging with Teacher Customers from financial plc's through to high technology silicon chip multi-nationals, Cobault launched Account Manager an application that bridges the gap between existing Contact Management software (ACT, Goldmine, Maximizer etc.com etc), front-end CRM functionality and large-scale (high-end/high-cost) Sales Force Automation tools (e.g. Siebel & Salesforce).

The company is still privately owned and continues to foster an agile start-up culture. Thousands of companies have selected Account Manager as their underlying sales management software foundation in order to improve productivity and sales focus whilst reducing software costs and improving profitability.

Cobault has received significant recognition in a short period of time and has been awarded, European Company of Innovation by the South West Regional Development Agency as well as CRM company of excellence by leading analysts, Infotech.

Cobault's mission is to deliver fast to deploy, feature rich, low cost of ownership sales force automation solutions for a compelling return on investment.

Building long term partnerships by sharing the risk.

At Cobault we intend to partner with you for the long term and in order to establish a trusted status we recognize that we need to share the risk during the early stages of your business, which is why we get you up and running for just £69/$130 with our Personal Edition. This commitment also reflects our confidence in Account Manager and its ability to contribute to helping you get closure in your sales engagements.

Cobault sharing in your early success.

As your business grows and you become more successful it is likely that you will need to share information with other members of your focused sales team wherever they are in the world and whenever it is needed. It is at this point that we aim to share in your early success and we will seamlessly upgrade you from your Personal Edition to our low cost of deployment Peer-to-Peer product . This will be a true click and go product as it will soon ship on the worlds first Micro-Server which will reside on a simple USB memory stick.

Partnerships to provide the complete solution.

It is anticipated that it will not be long before you will be out growing your Peer-to-Peer product (2 to 10 users) and thinking about our enterprise Team Server solution. It is possible that you will not want your I.T department to spend any of their time supporting Account Manager and would rather have a 3rd party company host and manage your data so you can get on with the business of selling. Which is why we have partnered with Databax, one of IBM's most accredited value added partners.

It is however equally likely that you would want to continue to host and manage your data in-house, in which case you take exactly the same solution, only have it reside on one of your own computer for your your focused sales team to access either over the Internet from anywhere in the world, over your existing local area network/wide area network and or remotely in the off-line briefcase mode.

Listening to our customer needs.

We attribute a great deal of our success to date on the basis that we pro-actively listen to what our customers and prospects tell us and whenever possible we engineer these requests into Account Manager. We always want to hear about your thoughts and ideas on how we can improve and we would invite you to e-mail us us at any time to do exactly this. Please let us know if you would like to join our "Teacher Customer program".
